<!--The Church has what is called the "donations in kind" office that manages issues related to real estate, stocks and bonds, and other "non-cash" contributions. Interested parties can call Church headquarters and ask to be connected to this department, which will provides frank information about the Church's policy in this area.
+
Die Kirche unterhält ein Büro, dass Sachenspenden und die damit verbunden Immobilien, Aktien, Anleihen und andere "unabaren" Beiträge verwaltet. Interessenten können das Kirchhauptquartier kontaktieren und bitten, mit dieser Abteilung verbunden zu werden, die gerne offenherzige Auskunft über die Politik der Kirche in diesem Gebiet gibt.
  
It is the Church's practice to automatically liquidate all stocks/bonds provided to the donations in kind office as soon as they can be sold.  Any stock donations made to the Church are never held by the Church or its corporations, but are converted into cash and then used for Church purposes.

The church receives a lot of these types of donations because of the favorable tax treatment the donor receives. In the United States, the IRS code allows for an individual who has a long term potential capital gain in a stock (i.e., they have owned it for more than 1 year) to donate the stock to a non-profit organization and receive a tax deductible donation credit against their taxes based on the full value of the holding ''without'' having to also recognize the gain and be taxed on the gain.
